| Why no responces???
Posted: 4/29/2009 7:02:32 PM | I would love somebody to take a look at my profile and please let me know what I may be doing wrong. I have recieved very few responces to my emails and I would love to know what I can do differently to get attention.

Posted: 4/29/2009 7:13:20 PM | Hi Mark,
This is going to hurt, but I'm doing it to be kind.
First you need to fix the typos and break your profile into smaller paragraphs. Try paragraphs with no more than three sentences in them. Its way easier to read.
Second, your pictures are really blurry. To fix that, try cropping and resizing them with irfanview(free), or photoshop so they are perfectly square (400 pixels by 400 pixels, not square as in nerdy). Also, try not to have pictures of you with other women. It makes you look like a player. That isn't what women here are looking for. I'd say that is the opposite of what women are looking for here.
Third. Be funny. Say something that makes fun of yourself. It will show you don't take yourself too seriously but are still confident.
Fourth, under First Date, just say "Let me surprise you. It will be amazing." Nothing else. That's all she wants.
Hope that helps.
Good luck Mark. | |

Posted: 4/29/2009 7:14:18 PM | Hey don't know if you even want another dude's opinion but I figure it doesn't hurt, and I like getting girl advice from other guys more than women anyway - many times they don't know exactly what they want or don't know how to word it. But anyway:
The headline "finally ready" makes you sound like a late bloomer at best, a struggling introvert at worst. Work on this. Say something playfully confident, optimistic, or just silly. They next place people look is the about me section. Already, I see a spelling error and an empty spot where a comma should be. A lot of girls will stop reading right there if eloquence is important to them - and they definitely want to know that you at least proofread your stuff. I mean come on dude...you even had a spelling error in the name if this topic. | |

Posted: 4/29/2009 7:26:13 PM | A gals thoughts:
First date: One long run on sentence, to much activity. First dates are anxiety producing events for men and women, try to make the date relaxing.
Your profile: Need to revamp, writting is not my stron point either, but way too many I statements. You work at a paper, there are resources there called writers, invest in yourself, have one of them write a profile that shows who you are, paint a picture. Borrow phrases from other profiles. Describe who you are, not what you do.
Pictures: get rid of the friends and family stuff, I personally like humerous pictures. Invest in yourself again, papers have photographers, see if one can shoot a few casual pictures. Again, I prefer casual pictures, not professional pictures. Professional poses look to posed, air brushed. In real life your companion will see the good and bad, present who you are not doctored photos.
Good luck. | |

Posted: 4/29/2009 9:39:50 PM | Ok we get it. You are a giver. Stop writing about it. Thats basically what the whole profile is about. What kind of relationship are you looking for? Are you looking for a buddy or a girlfriend? The only response you will probably get with your profile is from a golddigger or a prostitute (nice girl who thinks she can get ur money after she gives it up). What is it about you that may stand out from other women. Do you go to church, or are you into cooking? Do you travel often, or maybe you like going to the beach? What are you interested in? Maybe into Latino women. You may love kids. Want a woman who is sociable. Or you might just want a woman who plays board games. What ever it is, open up to us. We want to know. And, use the spell check on your computer. Till next time, good luck. Feel free to critique me too.  | |
